Today I went to a memorial service of a lady I did not know well. As a child, she had been a Lithuanian refugee who grew up "dirt poor" in the ghetto, but having white skin allowed her to escape the prejudice that kept her friends and neighbors down. She never turned a blind eye to this unfairness. She devoted her whole life to fighting social injustice. She taught English as a second language, helped feed and clothe immigrants and she was politically active. I was touched by her life, and I just thought I would share it.
